Please help me to make my router HUAWEI HG232f to block bad websites. I have changed primary and secondary server addresses to 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123 respectively.  https://welcome.opendns.com/ shows that I am using opendns. However I still can access adult websites. 

Here the output of commands.

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text =

"server m73.fra"
debug.opendns.com text =

"flags 20 0 70 180000000000000000007950800000000000000"
debug.opendns.com text =

"originid 0"
debug.opendns.com text =

"actype 0"
debug.opendns.com text =

"source 213.230.76.21:32628"

C:\Windows\system32>nslookup whoami.akamai.net
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Name: whoami.akamai.net
Address: 2620:0:cc7::66

  This is probably not something your router can do, but OpenDNS can which is a service in the cloud, not on your router.

  OpenDNS doesn't block anything by default.  And your dashboard settings do not take effect, because your IP address 213.230.76.21 is not yet registered there.  See https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/

  My IP is changed, which is now 84.54.78.194 and in the dashboard it is registered. OpenDns Updater is installed.  But still I can enter to bad websites.

  You may need to flush your two local caches again.

  Else I need to see the output of the following commands (again):

  nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
  nslookup www.exampleadultsite.com.

  Flushed local caches again and now it is working. Very strange, I flushed local caches yesterday too, but it was not blocking websites. rotblitz thank you very much for your response!

  Well, if you visited the (unblocked) sites again after flushing the caches (you said they were still not blocked), then they were landing in the caches again.  Caches can be really resistent.
